Procedure

Sertraline free base (10 g) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (690 mL). At room temperature, ether (690 mL) was added to the sertraline ethyl acetate solution and the solution was acidified with HCl gas to about pH 0.5. The resulting gelatinous suspension was stirred at room temperature over night. Filtration and air drying of the suspension yielded amorphous sertraline hydrochloride (9.39 gr., yield 83.8%).
